Event Procedure
The trading sequence is available at any time after the Delivery Bag has been received. Link's first item is a Town Flower from Zunari on Windfall Island to get his shop started.
The young hero can then trade this to merchants who look very similar to Gorons on Mother & Child Isles, Greatfish Isle, and Bomb Island. After every trade, Link will lose his original item and some money in exchange for another trading item. Also, because of the Merchant's Oath, the merchants will send the item they traded to Zunari's Shop. Eventually, Zunari will give Link the Magic Armor, and at the end of the sequence he can trade the Shop Guru Statue to the merchant of Greatfish Island to receive a Piece of Heart.
The fastest way to finish the trading sequence is:
- Grab the Town Flower from Zunari.
- Give the Town Flower to Greatfish Isle's Wandering Merchant for a Sea Flower.
- Present the Sea Flower to Greatfish Isle's Wandering Merchant for an Exotic Flower.
- Go to Mother and Child island to talk to the Wandering Merchant and obtain the Pinwheel.
- Warp to Bomb Island to trade the Pinwheel for a Sickle Moon Flag.
- Back to Mother & Child Isles and exchange the flag for the Big Catch Flag.
- Return to Greatfish Isle and trade the Big Catch Flag for a Fountain Idol.
- Trade the Fountain Idol back to the merchant on Greatfish for the Skull Tower Idol.
- Go to Mother and Child Island and trade for the Big Sale Flag.
- Warp to Greatfish Isle for the Hero's Flag.
- Trade the Hero's Flag back to the merchant on Greatfish for the Postman Statue.
- Head to Mother and Child Island for the Shop Guru Statue
- Go back to Greatfish Isle and exchange the Shop Guru Statue for a Piece of Heart.
After Link has obtained all three flowers at Zunari's shop, he can go back to Zunari to receive the Magic Armor as a reward.
Aftermath
With the availability of the new products in Windfall Island, Link can decorate the entire island with them. Once he does so, he speaks to Sam (who is sitting right from Lenzo's house) to receive another Piece of Heart.
